JUNIA - Graduate School of Science and Engineering

JUNIA’s history began in 1885, within the Catholic University of Lille, with the foundation of HEI school of engineering. The foundation of ISEN school of electronics in 1956 and ISA school of life science in 1963 completed the ambition of the university: to train engineers able to accompany the industrial, technological, agricultural, and environmental evolutions of their time. Each in its own way, these schools paved the way: by prioritizing practice and proximity to companies, by anticipating digital revolutions, and by supporting the changes in agriculture and the agri-food sector. They forged a solid foundation, blending scientific rigor, openness to the world, and a sense of commitment.

Our academic programs are based on the acquisition of solid scientific and technical skills as well as personal development. Scientific courses, individual mentoring, professional immersion throughout our program help our student build their own path, keeping the reality of the corporate world and society in perspective. Our teaching methods are a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops but it is also leaving plenty of room to a much more active teaching approach, through group works, fieldtrips, projects and collaborative and experimental sessions.

All of our Research Units belong to larger regional, national and international research networks: 

• These collaborations contribute to guaranteeing the academic excellence of our Academic programs and advancing innovation in our fields of research.
